Abstract

A system for determining the position of an object, comprising a reference transmitter device ( 202 ) disposed in a fixed position, the reference transmitter device ( 202 ) having a reference time supplying means for supplying a reference time signal that indicates a reference time, at least two transmitter/receiver devices ( 302 ) disposed in fixed positions with respect to each other and to the reference transmitter device ( 202 ), each transmitter/receiver device ( 302 ) having a time supplying means for supplying a time signal indicating a time, a receiver means for receiving the reference time signal from the reference transmitter device ( 202 ) and a synchronization means for processing the time signal and the reference time signal, as well as a position determining device ( 502 ) on the object for determining the position of the object.
